Radio DJ Jamie Theakston has told of his delight at becoming the capital’s most popular commercial breakfast host.

The star joined Heart in April 2005 and co-hosts the breakfast show with Harriet Scott.

According to figures published by industry body Rajar for the last three months of 2006, the former Live And Kicking presenter has leapfrogged Johnny Vaughan to become London’s top commercial breakfast show host.

He said: “It’s what we set out to do. It’s a fantastic result but we know that Johnny Vaughan and Capital will come back hard at us along with other stations. Johnny is a great broadcaster and I have known him for years.

“What we have managed to do is create a partnership with Harriet and I that the listeners like and relate to – we’ve worked really hard at finding out what the listeners want and it looks as if we’re now giving it to them.”
